Right now I'm trying to figure out what to serve for dinner.

Ponder ponder ponder ponder.

Probably because I come to English from the outside, I abhor bad spelling and grammar. There's a surprising  best-seller in Britain, titled EATS, SHOOTS AND LEAVES.
The book deals with bad punctuation, the premise being that a misplaced comma can be deadly. The title stems from the following joke, which I love:

A panda walks into a bar. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots, wounding the bartender in the arm and just missing a nearby drunk.

"Why?" asks the bleeding bartender as the panda heads for the exit. The animal produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

With his good arm the bartender turns to the relevant entry and all is revealed when he reads:
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Also read that my old colleague Sol Rubinek (Daphne's jilted lawyer fiance on Frasier) is playing her dear old dad. All the more reason to watch.

And my dear friend, Ryan Shore, excellent orchestrator, composer, and nephew of Oscar winner Howard Shore, wrote the score to the film.  That's my reason to watch!

DR Laura - No such thing as a stupid question, just a stupid answer.
Daylight Saving Time always begins the first Sunday in April - this year that would be at 2AM on April 4.

Technically, it is the Giant Panda that is black and white.  China is also the home to red pandas, who aren't black and white but are red all over.

See illustration.

Interesting! I've never seen a red panda before. IMHO the black & white is much cuter.

Good evening all!  I hope you had a nice day.

Very sorry to hear about the new tragedy, DR Emily.  Such a pity to read about such young lives cut short.  On the other hand, I am also very sorry to hear about the passing of a GREAT actor, Peter Ustinove passing away.  He was one of my very favorites.

I’m still reading KT.  I’m not sorry that I’m taking my time because I’m enjoying it.  

Worst boss story.   Let’s just say that when I have a nightmare, it usually involves one place and one man.  It took a lot of years for me to get past that place/him but I found I was right.  When I went to a temp agency when I finely left there, I learned  the company (and him) were “black listed”by several of the local temp agencies.  They wouldn't even send someone there to work.  Not to mention the people I’ve met that have heard of him and that place.  No one has a good word for either.

Poof–such a smell of sulfur in the air.  Let’s talk about pleasant things.

Scrabble.  I tried to make it connect to the net last night to try it but the version I have is an old one.  I would gladly buy the new version if you guys would like to play.  It sounds like such fun! To bad there isn’t a version of “Careers”.  I would like to play that one again.

I would LOVE to try that Maple stick.  I don’t always get them (and now with the diet–well) but I do go to a local shop every once in awhile to buy the Maple candy shaped like the maple leaf.  I would still also like to try some snow.  Dirty or not.

I am still working on my worst boss story, but the topic reminded me of this work e-mail that I received from our Diversity Coordinator last week (this is not a joke):

Subject:  RE: DEALING WITH DEAF AND HEARING-IMPAIRED CLIENTS

This scheduled training has been CANCELLED.

Thank you for the daylight savings time answer. We don't do that here, so I can never keep track.

Now, dear Jane, you didn't say you couldn't use the bathroom, you said:
der Brucer (either way, he was still a stinker!)

True but that is how I felt when I was being watched.  And I could wait for a couple of hours in-between trips.  She was just strange.

Btw, do I dare tell DR Jane what changing "left" to "up" or "down" would do? :)

LOL-so that is how you do it!

I walked into the office one morning and was introduced to my replacement, because as she put it, "No one wants to see a pregnant court reporter."


Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit.  Not that I would have done so.
